Hi all! I have not been very active since, uh...The forum split, basically, since I got tired of the bickering. Anyways, now the pandoras have started shipping again, everybody is happy, and most of all me since mine has arrived! Yay! However, it isn't all perfect (only mostly).
The right shoulderbutton is not registering, at all. The left is fine and has a nice positive feeling to it, but the right one is completely dead. I ran the op_test_inputs to verify it, and then noted that to exit that, you should press the shoulder buttons... :blink: :lol: Anyways, the feeling I get from pressing on the right side is that there isn't anything to be pressed - The button moves, but nothing registers, and I can feel neither spring nor contact. It is as if the bit with the spring and the switch is simply missing.
Questions:
1: I seem to have heard something like this before. Does anyone recognize it, and/or is it possible that my description above (switch/spring assembly missing or has somehow moved) is accurate?
2: How difficult is it to open up, check, and reassemble? Is it recommended that I try that, or should I just send it back to Craig et al and say "Fix it"? I consider myself fairly experienced in the taking apart and putting back together business - I have installed mod chips in a Saturn and a Playstation, and regularly pokes around inside computers and synths, so it is more a question of how cramped it is and how "deep" into the pandora I need to go to get to the shoulder button bits.
I'm not primarily going to attempt to fix it (except if I actually find a missing switch assembly inside that has obviously been knocked out of alignment somehow), it is more about understanding what the problem is.
Apart from that - Wonderful thingie! I haven't gotten around to really poke it into shape yet (specifically I need to poke around a bit in the wifi department) but the feeling of actually blowing up mako reactor number 8 in my hands is a dream come true. This is what I expected and hoped for - Thanks, guys!
